Corsages or nah

Tiffany, on September 13, 2019 at 3:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 9
How important is it to have the mothers/grandmothers wearing corsages/pinned the day of? I’m not doing bouteinerres as I don’t feel it’s necessary. Is it weird to not have them? It’s an extra cost & I’m really trying to be cost effective and it just reminds me of prom which if I did go with it I’d go with a pinned flower instead, but I’m torn. Opinions?

    I don't think it's weird to not have them. I did it just so they could feel extra special aha but it was also really inexpensive off eBay.

    I think a pinned flower is perfectly fine. A simple white (or color matching your day) rose pinned like a boutonniere would be great and wouldn't cost more than the price of a dozen roses from the grocery store. Or none at all is also great! No one will look down on you or even blink if you don't do it

    I think either would be fine. The one thing I would worry about is pinning something to someone’s dress. I am a dress lover in general, and I would have some mixed feelings about pinning something to a lot of my dresses. Some fabrics just aren’t meant to be pinned. You could always skip them altogether. If you want to give your mother/grandmother flowers, you could always give them a centerpiece to take home instead, which they would be able to enjoy longer.

    I’ve never seen a corsage that’s pinned on. They are usually worn on the wrist. But no they aren’t necessary.

    We are doing boutonnières and corsages. I made the corsages, but did end of paying for the boutonnières. You definitely don’t have to have them though!

    We’re skipping them for our moms. Not in the budget and also, if we did them I’d feel we’d have to do bouts as well. And that’s a level of formality that doesn’t interest me.

    No. I didn’t have them as I was doing flowers myself and I ran out of time and energy and frankly didn’t know how to make a corsage haha. I checked in with the moms and neither of them cared, so I skipped it , just had bouquets for the bridesmaids, boutonnières for the groomsmen, and called it a day.

    FH and I are skipping corsages, too. We would have needed five, so that added up quickly!

    I think it's a really special way to include them in the wedding and we are definitely doing this!
